but if you fade it yourself from dark indigo, it would have more contrast, not universally pale like that.
here in my country prefaded jackets are always high selling, but also very cheap typically $15-20, dunno how top repro brands could compete with that, I don't get it. I do see type2 getting more and more mainstream now, and cheaper mall brands are making it too.
Oh yeah, everyone jumped on the Type-2 bandwagon. I was never a fan... Well, that's not true, I like it but I love the Type-3 a LOT more. Or the Lee.
As for fading, it's just taking so long. I wish I could send it to Indonesia to someone who'd wear it for a couple of months. It'd look best ever. Man, what's with the denim climate over there?
I've been looking for a Levi's type 2 jacket for some time but many of the jackets made today are too long for my taste. Few weeks ago I found this one which has been made in the early 90s in Japan. Length 22.5 inch which is perfect for me, I'm 5'11

I especially like the natural wear on it. Nothing spectacular but just enough to give it some character which you won't find in a new 'distressed' jacket

That is a very, very nice jacket!
